Coletivo Flui: Hacker Pump
︎
Project Manager: Lucas Costa
Designer: Leticia Sarmento

Since July of 2015 I've been working with a collaborative group of designers and students called Coletivo Flui,
in order to bring awareness to the water crisis that has drastically impacted the city of São Paulo.
We started out with a simple question: how can we minimize the negative impact of water's scarcity?
One of the solutions that we developed was the "Hacker" pump, which is a portable pumping
mechanism that allows people to easily transport and reuse water.
The brand identity embodies the idea of water fluidity, bringing people together and helping each other.
Since printing the posters had to be as accessible as making the pump, I extended the concept of the term hacker
in order to design the first set of posters for the pump solution. Flui Coletivo is meant to be a movement,
for we believe that the "Hacker" pump serves as an incentive for others to find creative solutions by proposing
new alternatives within everyone's reach. We want more than to lead this change,
we want everyone to be part of this movement. #fluicoletivo
